City Council Meeting

September 16, 2025
Meeting ID: 17061

Meeting Summary

What Happened

Fourteen council members were present throughout the meeting. Council Member Adrin Nazarian again hosted community testimony on the impact of federal immigration enforcement, with three Council District 2 residents describing families afraid to attend school, work, medical appointments, and military graduations, and Hope the Mission staff describing federal agents attempting to access shelter facilities serving unhoused residents. Council also confirmed Patrice Lattimore as City Clerk, an office she had served for 24 of her 26 years with the city. Council Member Adrin Nazarian questioned the department's interim fire chief about LAFD's engagement on the pending single-stairway building-code ordinance (Item 17), which Council Member Nithya Raman had that morning sent back to committee for further review; the chief said he had met individually with council offices and would continue to do so.

A scheduled item to consider reappointing Erroll Southers to the Board of Police Commissioners (Item 14) was pulled from the day's agenda and continued to September 26; numerous public commenters, including Black Lives Matter Los Angeles organizers, credited the withdrawal to organized opposition and used the public comment period to urge Council to reject the reappointment, citing his past writings characterizing Muslim Americans as potential "homegrown violent extremists" and his record on the commission.

Council adopted a large bloc of items with limited discussion, including roughly 15 additional committee reports and district motions (Items 1, 29-32, 34-45).

Contested Votes

Item 28 (CF 25-0642) — citywide elimination of off-street parking requirements, adopted 11-3. A Planning and Land Use Management Committee report eliminating off-street parking requirements citywide for new development and changes of use passed 11-3, with Council Member John Lee, Council Member Tim McOsker, and Council Member Imelda Padilla opposed. The item was called for a separate vote and passed with an initial 12-2 tally before Padilla asked to be recorded as an additional no vote; it was not extensively debated on the floor. Public commenters, including representatives of the Housing Action Coalition and YIMBY Action, spoke in support, arguing that eliminating parking mandates lowers housing construction costs.

Item 33 (CF 25-4118-S11) — LAMC 41.18 enforcement zones in Council District 10, adopted 10-4. A resolution by Council Member Heather Hutt and Council Member Traci Park designating additional locations in Council District 10 for enforcement against sitting, lying, sleeping, or storing personal property in the public right-of-way under Municipal Code Section 41.18 passed 10-4, with Council Member Eunisses Hernandez, Council Member Ysabel Jurado, Council Member Nithya Raman, and Council Member Hugo Soto-Martinez opposed. The item was not extensively debated on the floor.

Public Comment

Public comment was dominated by opposition to the (ultimately postponed) Erroll Southers police commission reappointment, with more than a dozen speakers, including Black Lives Matter Los Angeles organizers and self-described Muslim Angelenos, calling his record disqualifying. United Firefighters of Los Angeles City Local 112 president Freddy Escobar criticized LAFD staffing levels and the loss of paramedic/EMT positions, linking it to firefighter Joe Duffy's death. Several current and former Los Angeles Homeless Services Authority-funded service providers alleged mismanagement and retaliation related to homeless-services funding, including allegations involving Long Beach-area allocations, and asked Council to investigate. Speakers also debated the pending single-stairway building code reform, with supporters citing safety records in Seattle, New York, and other cities that allow single-stair buildings, and opponents and neutral commenters urging the committee to "get the details right" before advancing it.

Tallies and member votes are the official record (LA City Clerk CVVS). Descriptions are drawn from the meeting transcript.
